My ipod mini will not update from itunes.

I recieve a message saying the ipod is linked to another library and do i want to replace all the songs on my ipod with the current library. How do i transfer the songs in my ipod to my computer?

This is the message you see when you connect the iPod to a computer that it's not normally associated with. Clicking 'yes' will do exactly what it says and the songs on your iPod will be replaced with the songs in the iTunes library you are now connected to.
This is how the iPod works. Makes it that much harder to share copyrighted material.
Do you intend to use the iPod with more than one computer?

  • Does anyone know why my 2nd gen iPod calendars will not update from my Macbook pro starting as of Oct. 20, 2012? I tried restoring to factory settings and genius's did DFR type restore....no results.

    As of Oct 20, 2012, my calendars will not load from my Macbook Pro to my iPod. Tried resetting to factory settings and installing just my work calendar... unsuccessful. Genius at my Apple store tried a DFR (?) type reset... still no calendars. All other functions of the iPod is working fine. Any suggestions?

    10.8.2.  And I have been keeping up with updates, but I thought they all involved fixes to Logic Pro and Aperture (but there may have been an update to OXS...is there any way to see when fixes were released?) The Genius's at our store were stumped and told me to contact Apple.... but without Apple care, I will be charged a fee.... and my iPod is in pristine shape. Is there a way to request Technical support for a problem they are possibly causing?

  • Playlist will not update from Itunes to IPOD Mini

    I updated my Ipod mini (v1.4) and Itunes (v6.0.1). Since that time, i cannot update a play list on my Ipod. I added a song that was on a playlist prior to the update that is in the M4P format to Ipod. It lists it under my artists but refuses to accept any updated playlists. I receive the circle symbol with the line through it. Is there a setting that has changed in itunes not allowing to change my playlists?

    did you have the ipod mini connected to the computer when running a windows xp update??

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • IPod mini will not sync with iTunes 9

    Just set up itunes on new Acer. iTunes recognizes the iPod with details such as serial number, remaining space, etc but will not sync. Is there a problem between this version of iTunes and this older model iPod?

    Hello Rukiya,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried restoring the iPod via iTunes? This will erase all the content from the iPod and set it back to its default settings allowing you to start from scratch with it.

  • Ipod Mini will not update and sync without mac freezing up

    My ipod mini (4GB) cannot hold all my music so I have to single handedly sort out music i want and don't want. So, one day i decide to click 'restore' so i can just drag and drop playlists. Ever since then itunes freezes up when i plug it in and now it won't recognize it. The only way i can get itunes to respond is by unplugging my ipod mini. Then itunes is fine, like nothing happened. Also i have the most up to date itunes software. i don't know what to do.
    Please help!!

    When the iPod is connected to your computer and in iTunes go to edit-->preferences (in iTunes). Hit the iPod tab. Is it set to automatically update?

  • Ipod touch will not update from IOS version 6.1.3 to IOS version 7

    Are the previous ipod touch devices not compatible? An ipad the same age updated just fine.

    Only the iPod 5th generation can update to iOS 7. If you have an earlier model then you cannot update to iOS 7.

  • My Ipod mini will not update, help?

    I just downloaded iTunes 7, and now when I plug in my ipod, iTunes doesn't come up. Even if I open iTunes, I doesn't "sense" my iPod. I doesn't show up on the list and the "Sync iPod" option under the "File" drop down menu is all greyed out. I also tried using the iPod updater program and it said "Invalid iPod service version". I'd really appreciate some help.

  • IPad 2 will not update from version 4.3.5 (8L1).

    I got an iPad 2 from work and it will not update from version 4.3.5. There isn't even a software update option in settings. I have reset and erased it a few times, and still no update option. I have plugged it into my computer to try to update it that way and every time iTunes prompts me to download and update the latest version, it loads for a few seconds and then I get an iTunes message that says "The IPad software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your newtwork connection is active, or try again later." the network connection IS active, I can use safari, and I have "tried again later" and still no update. PLEASE HELP!

  • Ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes on win7

    Ipod touch will not connect to Itunes on WIN7. Used to work on Vista but has never worked on new WIN7 computer. Tried several cables and tried an Ipod shuffle. No joy. Current version of Itunes, restarted apple services and checked USB driver installed and functioning. When first plugged in, windows wants to know how to treat it (camera, file directory...)  and for a few moments shows it as a drive. Device also shows syncing for a few moments. Then Itunes starts, the device stops sync and windows no longer shows it as a drive. Itunes does not show the device but wants to transfer purchases from the device (transfer purchases from an ipod?). I tried the steps given in on-line help and the diagnostic. Must be missing something in the setup of Ituines. Any suggestions...

    Sorry sorry I am a not clear on apple product names. Actually do not care about the names. So I had to look this up so as not to offend anybody. I am talking an ipod nano gen4 AND and ipod nano gen7. Neither work. Can you direct me to somebody who might know how to fix this?

  • My iPhone will not update from version 4.1

    My iPhone will not update from version 4.1, everytime I try to update on the iTunes iPhone screen, the response says "your iTunes version is current"....I am not trying to update iTunes, I just want to update my iPhone. How do I fix this?

    You must purchase 10.5.8 from an Apple store, either in person or online. You can also update to 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) if you have an Intel Mac. The current version is Lion, (10.7), but you must have Snow Leopard installed to upgrade to Lion. You also need an Intel Mac.
